European Heritage Days allow people access to sites, monuments and buildings of historical and cultural importance that would normally remain off limits.

Every September events are held across Europe, celebrating cultural heritage in all its forms.

The 2006 Doors Open Days programme of events throughout the country during September weekends features an extensive range of properties with a varied selection of uses.

This year almost 300 activities are being held as part of Scottish Archaeology Month.

The Village Storytelling Centre is a community based project situated in Pollok. It aims to build community and bring disparate elements of the community together through the medium of storytelling. The Village also seeks to encourage a sense of pride in Pollok by telling the stories of its heritage and more recent history; bringing together people of all ages and communities to gain confidence as they hear and tell each other their own stories, as well as traditional and faith tales from this country and beyond. It is a place of education for people of all ages, involving them in storytelling and the expressive arts.
